Life Luxuries Number 1.....
Dual Shower Head. If you shower with a partner frequently this is a must have. I have had one since we purchased our home 5 years ago. The best part is that you both stay warm and have your own personal on/off switch. It really is quite wonderful.
Check out this one from SkyMall.

rBGH-Free Milk
I am alarmed at the high rate of cancer in our area, especially breast cancer. My mother is a breast cancer survivor and I try to live a life without any added hormones to my diet as well as my young children.
I have been researching all the information regarding the synthetic hormone rBGH, aka Recombinant Bovine Growth Hormone, that farmers inject their cattle with so as to produce more milk.
What really got me interested was that Canada, Europe, Australia, Spain, New Zealand, and more have banned this hormone and have banned American milk products in their countries.
I spoke with a representative of the Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture who assured me these hormones are safe. They have been in use for only ten years.
After much reading I have decided that Organic milk is the way to go. I have been purchasing Wegmans Organic Milk which clearly states "No rBGH Hormones."

Corn Stove
Well shortly we are going to be facing the time where we need to turn on our furnaces.
The best part of my furnace is that it's actually a corn/pellet stove and heats up to 3,800 square feet. Quite possibly the best investment next to my house. We bought our Quadra-Fire Mt. Vernon stove in the early spring of 2005 from Scott's Heating and Cooling in Wattsburg and have reaped the benefits of burning corn and pellets.
Our whole quality of life has improved just for the fact that I can have all rooms open at my home and have everyone very comfortabe without having to wear extra clothing in the comforts of my own home. I recommed everyone to look into corn and/or pellet stoves for their home.
Our winter is already paid for and the best thing is that at my house in the cold winter months ahead I can count on my house to be an average warm 76 degrees.

Air Traffic Control
Please take a moment and take action to reduce air traffic delays and unfair taxes by visiting Smart Skies.
Smart Skies is a national campaign, led by the airlines of the Air Transport Association, that advocates modernization of the U.S. air traffic control system (ATC) and its funding mechanisms.
Air traffic control systems need modernized to reduce air-traffic delays. This is a great way to be heard. Thank you.

Zip Codes
Zip codes were implemented by the Postal Service in the 1960s, and were designed to handle the era's growing population and increased volume of business mail.
The first number identifies the region, with zero being the Northeast and nine being the West Coast. Numbers two and three identify the metro area, and the final pair specify the post office.
